My understanding is that drones are not allowed to be flown in Wilderness areas, although I don't know what the penalty would be or how they enforce that. I agree with Nick, it's disheartening that a big company would sponsor something like that. From the Forest Service website on responsible...

This is Winston, saying "hurry up and get the skins off Dad, I want to go downhill now!"

Nick - I'm curious what kind of hoops do you have to jump through to enjoy the breweries down there. Here in MT, you can only have 48 ounces (3 pints) at each brewery, per day. Are there similar restrictions in Utah?

But that leaves no time for a few beers at lunch time...

Interesting to hear you all have so many options for AT gear to rent. Maybe it is just our little town, but when I asked around it seemed no one in this part of Montana rented anything but downhill or XC gear. I went ahead and bought an AT package last year anyway, but it would have been nice...

30-40 runs in a day? That's impressive!

Although I agree with this statement, just know that most places will not rent AT gear. At least, that's what I found last year when I was wanting to do the same thing. I asked a couple of places and was told it is too much of a liability to rent out the equipment, not knowing where you are...

I agree with what everyone has said but just wanted to add... if you're biggest reason for doing a trip in late May/early June is to avoid the crowds, there are plenty of places you can go that rarely, if ever, have big crowds. Last summer four of us did 3 days in the Montana wilderness and saw...

Someone on YouTube commented that this is "half worm arch in Garfield County Utah". Can anyone confirm that is a real place and if it is still standing?

Awesome stuff, everyone. My 2018 wasn't quite as exciting as some of you all, but I got out as much as I could. It's tough with young kids, but I am thankful to be able to get any a few bigger trips in each year. Here are a few highlights of my favorites from 2018: This year I bought a pair...

My suggestion? Don't do it as a dayhike! LOL I'll send you a PM, but will say I hope you are good at route-finding. The "trail" from the main trail up to Kerlee Lake would have been almost impossible to find had I not been there with someone else that knew where to find it. And steep...

Garrett - Where in Western Montana? In most places around here, I'd play it safe and carry spray. I mentioned earlier, it seems the Grizzlies' range is rapidly expanding, so even a place that people claim has no Grizzlies, you just never know. Although not nearly as aggressive as a Grizzly...

Awesome!

Without a doubt, yes, I would carry bear spray in the Tom Miner basin. Anywhere that close to Yellowstone. In fact, I believe a woman was mauled by a grizzly up there just last Fall. And, yes, Butte had a confirmed Griz just a few miles north of us in Elk Park. It got into someone's chicken...

It's not even a question, I carry bear spray whenever I am out hiking. There is a trail right here on the edge of town and even though I'm right close to home I still carry spray because I've heard of several people running into bears and mountain lions there. We may have at one time thought...

So awesome! I would love to do something like that but could never convince the family. LOL

Interesting. Of course, for some of us, our memory only goes back to the 80's, so that's why it seems like there really are significantly more fires now. Just a matter of perspective, I guess.

Ah yes, that's not far from another unusually named peak https://goo.gl/maps/Mifznb1EKpM2 BTW, did you ever find Coolidge on the map? https://goo.gl/maps/5MnHcqrRFX52

How about another hint?

@misSOULa I did see your TR after I posted the question yesterday. Good stuff!
